The Slanders against America-—The Sausage De- mocracy on the Continent of Europe —Opinion’ of the Mexican War.—Religious Celebration,’ Festivals, §c. $c. There is a poiut beyond which patience ceases to be a virtue; and a long continued attack against” the fair fame of nations as well as indiViduw's,y may at last induce the meekest Christian to refuse to turn the right cheek to him who has smitten the left, or give the coat to him who has already’, stolen the cloak. It is high time for the United States to seize arms, in self defence, against the base libels that are daily given to the kuropean?, world, in sheets that feed and fatten on ail that is* false, low, and vulgar, ifitis only directed against | the republicans of the new world. h Nearly all the information that is received from our country on the continent, istaken from the English sheets ; many of these pride themselves in being engaged as rivals in the production of the greatest faisehoods; ant wear alternately the laurel wreath of victory, for having proved them- selves the most abusive calumniators, and ura- principled slanderers. Among these stands the “* Times” con-picuous ; and the ** gratetul Boz’? does not hesitate to enrich Is sheet with his experience. The choicest articles of this kind are faithiully subinittd to Galignani’s scissors in Paris, and then start on their journey throughout France and the entire continent. These afford an easy means for German journals . to enrich their coluains with information trom the other side of the ocean, and generally owe their translation and admission into these sheets to the adroitness with which they reach the climax of abuse and insult, The news of the declaration of war by the United States against Mexico, reach- ed Vienna about two weeks ago; a few days af- terwards the official journal contained a long tis- su2 of ranting Billingsgate taken from the Zumes, and inserted without comment, in which the Mexican forces are represented as composed of the very flower of soldiery—while the Armericans are termed mere rabbie. The continent has scarce- ly recovered from a laugh that threatened at one ume to become hysterical. Had the hysterics set in, the whole cause of the disease, and the moral responsibility of its consequences would have rested on the suoulders of the honorable member of the House of Represeutatives,who see tit when he 1s hungry to reture to a window of the heuse and enjoy a lunch oj bread and sausage. Mugs of beer by the thousands have been sipped over this delightiul story; and the curling fumes of pipes, brown with tue smoke of ages, have joined to form a cloudy canopy over the heads of these dili- gent investiga’ors of American men aod manners. ‘These things are served up as inevitable results, where men are allowed to do as they please. In- stead of passing {rom the ridiculous to the sublime, the course is rather changed, and they turn to the horrible. A shudder of disgust is at meng extending from the Adnauc to the tic, on account of two tales of terror that have just been presented to the German world, in the columns of the German Universal Gazette. One is, that a captain oa the Mississippi lett a hundred German emigrants on a barren island in the river ; they were there eight days, during which time some of them starved, etc., etc. In tue first place, only one side of this story is given, without one mitigating syllable as to the mduce- ent to such an act; aud secondly, oue indivi- duai, a steamboat captain, is set Up as the buna S| fide representative of the United States, and car- ved acvordingly. The absurdity of the idea that any body of men could o¢ deserted ior eigut days On a river Where steamers are passiag hourly, never enters the minds of those that are hurror- struck at these details. _ Again a beautiful mulatto girl in New Orleans is ill treater by a jealous mistress; the girl slaps the latter in the face, 1s condemned to death and hung; this is the whole of a story that tills oue column of the paper that contains it—the re- mainder of its contents is devoted to painting every circumstance in the most glowing colors, and exciting evety feeling by the most touching and patheuc appeals; in short, every effort 1s made to give it @ character that wouid disgrace the veriest cannibals. Diplomatists are calling on our Legation, to know if such can be the state of laws and society in the United States; and four times within two hours have I been stopped in the streets of Vienna to listen to this sad reci- tal. The enemies have a bulwark which is invul- nerable, and they retire betiund it and give bate with a confidence which they unag ne gives vic- tery also; the affair is alleged to be copied fro an insiguiticant Awericon savet Whose name is given; and when we turn traitors to Ourselves how can we demand gener us treatinent from our foes?
